Hello, A common experience: You start to develop a new rails application. When controller method code is growing, you will put parts of its code under the private section at the end of the controller, because you want the public methods to reflect the processing logic, not the calculation detail. Later on, this private controller section is also growing. You detect that it consists of many private methods, which could be grouped thematically. What is best practice now? Creating my own classes and putting them into the rails lib directory? These classes would be of singleton type, because it would make no sense to instantiate them more than once: they are just a collection of thematically grouped methods, not really an "object".
Instead of putting the classes under the lib directory, one could also create app/my_logic/ directories, and put the classes there. Is there any difference? Of course, in the last case, one would have to tell rails to also look into the my_logic directories... What's your experience? What is best practice, to keep the overview over your code?
